New Movie

by **PYRO1234321** » 4 Dec 2003 19:33

I've been browsing this site for a long time now and figured it was time to register. Thanks to everyone who has ever posted, since i've read at least 90% of the posts and have gained a lot of information and skill. My skills are intermediate at best, but for the last few years or so, i've been hooked on hobby picking. I've gone full circle it seems when it comes to picks. I've made them out of everything imaginable, then bought a bunch while working in California, then went back to making my own (which i find more rewarding and of better quality).

My main reason for posting is to tell everyone that i've almost completed an instructional video that teaches how to manufacter a basic pick set. Its a little slapped togeather, but I think it illustrates the best methods that that i could come up with (much of it learned through this site). I'm hoping it will put an end to the "how do i make picks..." posts that are very common, and help people from having to go through the trial and error that i did. I'm hoping it will also be a valuable addition to the far-and-few-between lock picking free videos available online.

Soooo, Here are the details: All footage is shot and assembled, just a matter of finishing details. its less than 30 min long, i havn't done the final video compression quite yet, but i'm aiming at 30-50 megs. I appoligize to anyone with a dial-up modem

but its a quantity/quality issue.

I would like it if someone could give me a fews ideas as to where i can post it online. or better yet, if someone would be willing to host it?

I'll post when its completed (in a few days at most) and figure out a way to get it to anyone (i.e. site moderators?) who whould like to have a first go at it....

Cheers.

about the only thing I can think of is either buy a web shell or get a FTP server.

all I can think of.

I'd go to Yahoo Groups. Create your own Group and post it there. I'd love to join and see the video when it's up, just keep us posted.

Yahoo Groups will not host this because it is too large.

My suggestion is to compress the movie with the DivX Codec then zip-it with maximum compression in a .zip file.

What is the resolution of the movie?

I would also suggest spliting it up into 10mb files, these will take about 1 hour for a 56k user to download. My friend has a ftp server, i'll ask him if you want to host the file excusivly so the moderators can download it, because bandwidth is presious to him, not to mention he hosts a website aswell.

If YOU are a broadband user, and you wouldn't mind hosting this file, but you dont know how to, then download Bulletproof FTP Server at
http://www.bpftpserver.com/ If you go onto the downloads section, you can download a free 30 day trial, which is enough to get lots of people to download it. I now say some stuff I shouldn't say as it is illegal, so I am very glad the forum nazi Pheniox edited my post

Edited for suggesting illegal activites. http://www.lockpicking101.com/viewtopic.php?t=715 Rule #8. Edited by Pheniox

lol. *Hangs Head in Shame*

My friend says he will host the movie, so PYRO1234321 when you have finished the movie PM me and i'll give you the details for the ftp server. If you have broadband then to save time you could give me and my friend the uncompressed movie and we would compress it and all that (We are experts at that kind of thing) But thats up to you.

hey i know this is an old thread, and i'm new around here, but would be it possible for any of u folks who have this video to upload it somewhere for downloading? I've tried the regular links already (ie., the one at viewtopic.php?t=588), and i've tried searching through the forums as well, but not found one working link.

by **CurioPiKXzz** » 20 Dec 2004 12:17

well, allow me to say thanks then! and what search terms did u use?

by **poisoned** » 20 Dec 2004 12:22

"pyro making picks" and search for all terms.. :wink:

by **CurioPiKXzz** » 20 Dec 2004 12:28

u know what? i found a bunch of stuff as well, but until recently all the links were the old link, or links that didnt work. Anyway, i found that same thread where this link (and a *much* better and faster link) was posted too. Was just reading through all of the pages and hadnt gotten to that last page yet...

I can host all the stuff you want.
just message me and I will make you a user on my ftp server.
the stuff you upload will also be available through http

by **99atlantic** » 22 Jan 2005 21:18

if you can't find a stable host, something you could try is to create it, then create a gmail account and email it that account since it will hol dup to 1000megs.

by **99atlantic** » 22 Jan 2005 21:19

btw, your first movie helped me out A LOT in learning how to make my own pick set; without it i'd be lost. thanks a billion.

by **Geek142** » 23 Jan 2005 6:43

Pyro that was worth the 3 hour download (curse you dial-up)

Anyways that was the best i bet who ever made videos and tried to sell them would be rolling on the floor in pain knowing that you made that good of movie and it is free!!

thanks for all the help that movie gave me

cya later
